I think I side with the theists on this one. Not that I believe the cross at Ground Zero means anything in the religious sense, but I do think it's a piece of history, and there's no denying that people took some measure of comfort in finding this symbol in the wreckage of the World Trade Center.

It doesn't bother me, but it has zero weight with me, too. If the steel girders made the Star of David or some other impossible shape then I would be like, cool, but a cross happens every time two straight lines fall to the ground.

I would say they have to atleast admit that the building was designed with hundreds of perpendicular girders and the probability of you finding a cross shaped like that is about 99% in any circumstance.
The design was already in the building and there are hundreds of them in the supports of the building.

I'd rather it stay out. "Oh my gosh, this vague symbol of my god showed up after thousands of innocent people died horribly and said god did jack to help them! Let's make a big deal out of it!" The sheer lack of logic it stands for shouldn't be preserved.

Though, I would be all for it if it was included with an extremely backhanded description. "A piece of metal hyped up by idiots who cannot look at the big picture."
